A quick update from SJP!

We are in the midst of re-launching!

Since having our second baby in January we have enjoyed some much-needed time away from photography that has allowed us to really focus on our family.

During that time we made the very difficult decision to restructure and refocus our business.

The main changes being;

1) We have done away with our website! As the vast majority of communication and booking has always been done through our social channels, it just makes sense to not continue with our website. Eliminating this extra cost has allowed us to keep our prices consistent.

2) We are no longer doing weddings. As much as we absolutely ADORE photographing people’s best days, being away from our small children for so long on the weekends just isn’t the right choice for us in this season of life.

As we update our social channels we are excited to share with you so many beautiful shoots we have done and to get back to booking families, seniors, engagements, and maternity!

Thank you for continuing on this journey with us!

♥️

We have been incredibly blessed and honored to photograph this wonderful family multiple times now. We celebrated with them as we shot their engagement and wedding photos. And again when we found out Brilyn and Jacob were expecting a sweet baby boy.

Sadly, their precious boy passed away. It was their wish to honor their sweet baby Oakley this month as October is infant loss awareness month.

When we met up to shoot their Oakley’s beautiful memorial family session Brilyn shared that they have been blessed with a miracle.

A baby boy sent straight from their Oakley in heaven.

With Brilyn’s permission we share these photos to bring awareness to infant loss, and to celebrate and honor their sons (and daughter, can’t forget Em).

Brilyn chose this quote when sharing these photos:

Isaiah 60:22: "When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen"

One of the best families! ♥️

Not only did they have a beautiful shoot, but the kiddos managed to retrieve Finn’s water cup he threw in the lake and no one even got wet!

A successful night indeed!
